The Camp Starts!!! :)

Day 1

Travel Day

Our flight from Germany was 8 hours long but the time went quickly. We got to watch movies and the flight attendants were very nice and funny. Even though, the choice of food was limited, it tasted really nice and we all got enough. The flight landed in Canada so we had to switch flights. The security checks we had to pass were very strict. We even had to let our fingers be scanned. The next plane we got on to was really tiny, so we could see out of the window. This flight was 1 hour long, and then we landed in Pittsburgh. When we arrived at the University, we got our ID cards and our room keys. Our dorms are pretty well equipped and the rest of the campus of Duquesne University as well. When we got to our rooms we were very exhausted and went to bed.

Day 2

Getting to know Pittsburgh

At the beginning of the day, we had breakfast. It was a relaxing day. We got to know each other a little better and we went into the city. We went to Station Square and visited all of the shops. Most of them were fan shops. There was also a cute candy shop, a book store and a soap shop. There was a train, which drove around little kids and kept whistling. We went over the Smithfield Street Bridge. It is one of the oldest bridges in Pittsburgh. We loved the view of the city. We also visited PPG Place, which is a series of tall glass buildings and there was a fountain that children played in. Lunch was at the Hard Rock Café. A man danced Thriller by Michael Jackson. He was very talented. Sadly, we could not go on the Segway tours but we went to the movies and saw Despicable Me. We watched it in 3D. It was very funny. After the movie, some of us went to the super market, Giant Eagle, which was giant, as the name says. At the super market, we bought gum, chocolate, drinks and of course lip smacker. We liked it a lot.
